You can grow various plants in the GreenBox: herbs, leafy vegetables, salads, but also small chilies, cherry tomatoes, and many types of flowers! You may even grow exotic herbs that you would otherwise not find in the supermarket. The GreenBox is also suitable for raising larger plants (e. g. zucchini) and then transplanting them in your garden when the weather warms up. You may also use your own seeds. Soon our offer will be extended with microgreens and mushrooms!

When you start with a new set, the amount of water in the container should be 1.5 litres. Once the plants have developed more roots, you may fill the water tank to its maximum - with a little more than 2 litres of water. In both cases the plants will be supplied with water for an average of 14 days. At high temperatures, more water may be required.

The components of every GreenBox we send out are carefully packaged in dry condition, separate from each other: The wooden housing has no contact with water, the PlantPlugs are “unplugged” and packed tightly – and lastly – the seeds are packed individually. This all ensures a very long shelf life of the product and accessories. As long as they are kept in a dry environment, the seeds and PlantPlugs last for 2 years at least. So there's no need to worry if your green gift will last until the holidays. :)

The optimal storage for the PlantPlugs: dry, dark and at room temperature. Stored this way, they will last for at least 2 years.

The housing of the GreenBox is made of birch wood from European timberlands. It is cut by a laser and finished by hand. Each GreenBox is assembled by hand in our Berlin workshop and checked for its quality. Part of our production process is carried out by the Berlin Workshops for the Disabled.

12 – 16 hours per day is the most effective lighting period for your plants. Use the GreenBox App to configure when the light should be automatically switched on and off. The light temperature and intensity can also be flexibly adjusted to your mood via the app. You may also use the GreenBox as a light alarm clock and/or intelligent daylight lamp.

With a light output of 12 hours a day (recommended lighting duration for optimal growth results), the average power consumption is about 5.4 kWh per month, which corresponds to a daily additional load of about 0.07 EUR (as of November 2022). Shall we tell you a secret tip? Use our GreenBox Tent to turn your indoor garden into a stylish lamp in the evening and reduce your environmental and financial footprint.

No, it doesn't. The wooden housing contains a synthetic water container. This in turn contains the tray with 8 sockets for the PlantPlugs. In the middle of this tray, there are 2 irrigation inlets. The GreenBox can be filled with water using a standard indoor watering pot or drinking bottle so that no water drips onto the wood.
